Hey, this is Joe at The Poor Over. And this is Zan at The Poor Over. Today we're talking about ongoing anti-ice unrest in Los Angeles, activist Greta Thunberg's ship being intercepted on its way to Gaza, Apple's latest software update, and other top news for Wednesday, June 11th. Staying foreign while remaining focused on Christ with the pour-over today. Here's your quote of the day. The scriptures are shallow enough for a babe

to come and drink without fear of drowning, and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever reaching the bottom. St. Jerome. Let's get started with some espresso shots. ["Spring Day"] Los Angeles remains in unrest. The Pentagon deployed 2,000 additional National Guardsmen, 4,000 total, and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles County to protect federal property and personnel.

Local officials say most anti-ice protests, now popping up across the country, have been peaceful though demonstrators have thrown fireworks and rocks at police and set fire to several self-driving taxis. Police have used less lethal weapons, such as tear gas and rubber bullets, to dispel unlawful gatherings. President Trump says the city would be, quote, burning to the ground had he not deployed backup. California Governor Newsom condemned the violence but accused Trump of trying to, quote, fan

the flames. On Monday, the Golden State sued Trump, claiming his deployment of California's National Guard exceeds the federal government's authority. President Trump later suggested Governor Newsom should be arrested for impeding ICE. Obeying God when he calls us to love and pray for our enemies requires genuine humility and deep faith. But loving them reflects our Father, who loved His enemies so much that He allowed His only Son to be killed so we could have an eternal relationship with Him. Luke 6 verses 32 and 35 says,

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. But love your enemies. Do what is good and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great and you will be children of the most high. Israeli forces boarded the British-flagged Madeline, a boat carrying Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, and 11 other international passengers near Gaza on Monday. The yacht, which is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to deliver aid and protest Israel's war in Gaza.

It was seized about 125 miles off the coast and escorted to Ashdod, Israel. Three activists and a journalist were deported Tuesday. Eight other passengers refused deportation and are being held in detention before Israeli authorities hear their case. Israel has called Toomburg an anti-Semite, but promised to deliver, quote,

the tiny amount of aid, end quote, on the ship to Gaza. The pro-Palestinian coalition condemned the seizure, which happened on international waters, as a breach of international law and called for the other passengers to be released without deportation. Followers of Christ should not become cynical, desensitized, or unmoved by stories of war and tragedy, but be endlessly willing to help. Continue praying for peace and reconciliation in the Middle East. Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no

strength known but the strength of love, so mightily spread abroad your spirit that all people may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, to whom be dominion and glory now and forever. Amen. That's a prayer from the Book of Common Prayer on page 654. Apple hopes an update today will keep the Androids away. At its annual Developers Conference in Cupertino, Apple unveiled software updates across its product line. The changes were mostly cosmetic.

Liquid gas design updates feature semi-translucent widgets, notifications, and more. All operating systems are being renamed for the upcoming year instead of the version number. For example, iOS 26, iPad OS 26, and Watch OS 26. There were some actual new features as well. iPhones will help filter unwanted spam texts. Workout Buddy will provide fitness insights and encouragement through the Apple Watch. Live translations will be available for calls, messages, and FaceTime. While the capabilities of Apple Intelligence were repeatedly highlighted, conspicuously absent from the party again was an AI Siri. The updates will roll out to everyone with an iPhone 11 or newer this fall.

Here's a verse to consider when you think your relationship with technology needs an update. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable. If there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy, dwell on these things. Philippians 4 verse 8.

In other brews, here's a rapid round of updates. Health Secretary R.F.K. Jr. announced he was, quote, retiring all 17 members of the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Board, which helps set immunization schedules for adults and children. He called the committee, all 17, were Biden-era appointees, a, quote, rubber stamp for any vaccine, saying a, quote, clean sweep is needed to reestablish public confidence. The decision drew harsh rebukes from many in the public health community. For Justin Baldoni, it ends with... a judge.

Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively was dismissed. The judge ruled her accusations of sexual harassment were exempt from libel claims because she made them in a lawsuit. The judge also ruled that Baldoni's claim that Lively stole creative control of the film didn't amount to extortion. Austria is grieving after a school shooting yesterday. A former student opened fire at a high school in Graz, Austria's second-largest city, killing nine people and wounding at least 12 others before taking his own life. The 21-year-old man's motives remain unclear. He used two weapons,

which he was believed to have owned legally. Southern Baptists are calling for legislative change. At the convention's annual meeting this week, the denomination is expected to vote to work with legal advocacy groups campaigning against same-sex marriage, pornography, and sports betting.

Conservative Christian activists looking to build on the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade say lawmakers should oppose any law contradicting what God has made plain through nature and scripture. Warner Brothers Discovery is looking to unmerge after just three years together. The divorce will split its growing studio and streaming businesses, aka HBO, Warner Brothers and DC Studios,

from its legacy network businesses, aka TNT, Discovery, CNN by the middle of next year. NBCUniversal has also been breaking up the band, spinning off its cable news networks into a separate company. That's all we have for today.
